Wedding Updates - OTD and Caterer

Been busy the past months for the wedding preps. So far we've booked almost all our suppliers. And I am soooo sooooo glad to say that after some worries and lots of time thinking, the budget for our wedding will be coming solely from our paychecks which means that our savings and or investments will stay as is :) Thanks to our stock market and Jaylu's skills on these things. I spared myself from the stress the stock market would cause me and just let him take control of it. hehe. God really provides :)

For the wedding updates:

We've booked Myra Astilla and her team, Merriment Event Planner & Wedding Coordinators to be our OTD. Myra is very punctual. The first scheduled meeting didnt pushed through because we were an hour late, it was really our fault and punctual as she is, she does not want to be late on her next appointment. But come second meeting, even though I thought we were already punctual, guess what, she is still earlier than we are. And with that she really gained my respect. During the meeting, I felt that she is an expert on what she is doing and she is not the "sosyalera" and "maarte" type, which we like. So after 1 week, we paid the DP and blocked her on our date.

As for our caterer, we finally decided it will be Eloquente. After months and months of food tasting and checking on caterers setup, we chose them. Actually, we have 3 caterers to choose from as part of our package. CVJ, on which we didnt liked the food as early as food tasting, flavors is too strong for us, a.k.a maalat. Then we are torn between Delica and Eloquente. Both catering has the same taste of food. But what I liked about the menu set of Eloquente is that, theirs is not the usual food menu that an ordinary person would eat on a normal day. And they have the zen type design for their couples table or couch which is what we like for couple presentation. We find the usual table with flower thing and tiffany chairs old school.

So for now, what's missing are the rings (scheduled date is on May) and Invitations.
